Chapter 123

Ever since he received the news, Solim had wondered if Dumbledore's rumor was trying to keep the basilisk in the Headmaster's office because he had heard some rumors, such as the Selwyns going to have a clan meeting or something. However, even if Solim knew the news at that time, he would not leave the basilisk at Hogwarts, although the basilisk can be considered safe in Hogwarts, but the placement is indeed a problem, and work such as blood collection has to run up and down, and it takes too much time to go back and forth, and you must be careful not to be discovered by other students, there are too many places to pay attention to and avoid, it is really not worth it.

But now that this is the case, Solim is ready to discuss it with Sylna, after all, the Basque Country belongs to Sylna in terms of contract, and Solim is ready to listen to his sister's opinion. If the basilisk doesn't take care of it, Solim can foresee a lot of trouble waiting for him and his sister.

The school is not going to be closed in a few days, there are no exams in the lower grades, there are still a few subjects in the upper grades, and the junior students who are a little anxious during this time have packed their bags early and are ready to leave the school, Solim is not thinking about leaving the school at all, in fact, he will not go anywhere until he gets in touch with Elrond.

During this time, the second-year students had neither classes nor exams, and many students were crazy, but Hermione was not among them, she had been trying to block Solim for the past few days and ask him about the secret room, after all, even Harry was wondering about the basilisk, not to mention Hermione, the basilisk had not appeared from beginning to tail, how could Hermione not have doubts, but the matter was over, the petrified students woke up, and Dumbledore also announced at the banquet that the secret room incident had ended, and Hermione could only ask Solim if she wanted to know the details of the secret room incident。 Strange to say, the exams were all over, and there were no classes now, but Hermione just couldn't find Solim.

Of course, she couldn't find it, Solim had been in the principal's office since the morning, and even had lunch in the principal's room. For no other reason, he was pestering Dumbledore to help contact his grandfather.

Solim is actually a bit of a strongman, Dumbledore and Elrond have no intersection at all, if it wasn't for the original investigation of Solim, Dumbledore wouldn't know about Elrond at all.

But he was Dumbledore, and Dumbledore always had a way. Gilvais is the vice president of the Apothecary's Guild, and ordinary people are not qualified to contact him, but Dumbledore is not an ordinary person, Dumbledore contacted Gilves, and through Gilves he contacted Elrond, and it took such a circle for Solim to get the word on.

The only thing Solim had to tell Elrond was to come to Hogwarts or something big would happen.

In the afternoon, Elrond would come to Hogwarts through the fireplace in the Headmaster's office, for which Dumbledore had deliberately opened up permissions, otherwise the outside fireplace would not be connected to here.

"Well," Solim pulled out a bottle and placed it on Dumbledore's table, "the basilisk's venom, undiluted. "

Dumbledore glanced at the bottle on the table and said with a smile, "I think Severus would be interested in this kind of thing." "

"I've already sent it to Professor Snape. Solim said, "It's best to use it now, and I want to see if the legend is true." "

Solim's words were clueless, and Dumbledore didn't react for a while.

"Please forgive me for being an old man. Dumbledore said helplessly.

"Gryffindor's sword, it is said to absorb substances that strengthen itself. Solim explained, "If it can actually absorb the basilisk's venom, I think it will be much easier to destroy Horcruxes in the future." "

Hearing Solim's words, Dumbledore's face became serious.

"Indeed," Dumbledore nodded, touching his white beard, "I've heard this rumor too." "

Dumbledore stood up, and I have to say that this white-bearded old man was really tall. Removing the Sorting Hat from the top of the shelf, Dumbledore handed him to Solim.

"Gryffindor's sword can be pulled from the Sorting Hat, and you've seen Harry do that. Dumbledore said, "Only Gryffindor students can pull it out, but I think you can give it a try." "

Solim pouted, this old man Deng, temptation is really omnipresent, and it is very annoying.

"Headmaster, there is no need for temptation. Solim reached into his hat, and sure enough, he felt the hilt of a sword.

"I've heard the name of the Gryffindor Sword, and it doesn't stay in the hands of wizards who don't have the spirit of Gryffindor. Solim pulled his sword out of the Sorting Hat.

"But I don't think even if Voldemort got it now, it wouldn't have disappeared from his hands right away, and there was really no need for such a temptation. Isn't it interesting to be less tempting and more sincere? Every time we meet, you test me and try to trick me, it's always so boring, Headmaster. "

When Dumbledore saw Solim pull out the Gryffindor sword, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "You said I was testing you, and that's true. "

Dumbledore graciously admitted, without beating around the bush.

"But there's one thing you're wrong...... Dumbledore pointed to the Gryffindor sword in Solim's hand, "if it were Voldemort, he wouldn't have pulled it out." But since you speak of temptation, do you think that you are not worthy of temptation?"

Looking at the exquisite sword in his hand, Solim didn't pay attention to Dumbledore's later words: "Is it because he doesn't have the spirit of Gryffindor?or does the Sorting Hat not give it to him at all?"

"You're not wrong about that. Having been exposed to every student in Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat was well aware of the nature of the students. With that, Dumbledore looked down at Solim.

"I think you can start, I'm getting older, my hands are a little shaky, and delicate manipulations like potions are no longer suitable for me. "

Ha, how dare you say it? Solim tilted his head, clearly not believing Dumbledore's nonsense. But Solim didn't say anything, everyone said that this was the point, and Solim couldn't refuse no matter how thick-skinned he was.

When the cork was pulled out, a thick fishy smell was instantly released. Solim didn't frown, after all, compared to the troll's body odor, the basilisk's venom smelled good.

When the basilisk's venom came into contact with the Gryffindor Sword, there was no major movement, except that the venom attached to the sword decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye - as if it had vanished out of thin air.

"It seems that the rumors are true. Dumbledore didn't know when he leaned in. "The Gryffindor Sword does absorb what strengthens itself. It's really a goblin trick. "

"Would you like to try it?" Solim asked, "I think that journal would be a good test subject." "

Solim began to do evil, though he knew that it was almost impossible for Dumbledore to destroy the journal right now.

Sure enough, Dumbledore asked, "Then why can't it be the Gaunt ring?"

"Because the ring was given to you by me 'temporarily' for safekeeping. "It's still mine," Solim stressed...... Well, me and my grandfather's. "

"Of course, Grandpa, he'll come over later, and if he doesn't object, it's okay to destroy that ring, anyway, I'm okay with that. "

Solim shrugged, Elrond's temper couldn't be seen clearly by his cheap grandson. The excitement of seeing the Horcruxes at that time, combined with what Riddle had told Solim about the Horcruxes in the abandoned classroom at the time, Solim had reason to believe that his grandfather would never hand over the Horcruxes in his hands.

Solim even had some guesses about Elrond's thoughts. If Riddle's words at the time were true, the untainted soul fragments in the Horcrux were a great complement for any capable wizard, not only to heal the damage to the soul, but even to strengthen the wizard's soul, maybe Elrond just wanted to use the pure soul in the Horcrux to impact the realm of the Great Wizard. If he succeeds, then the life of the three of them will be much better.

Before Dumbledore could say anything about Solim's nonsense, there was a sudden movement in the fireplace in the headmaster's room. Aware of the situation, Dumbledore and Solim instantly set their eyes on the fireplace that was glowing green.

A figure stepped out of the flames.
